This weekend is my mum's birthday and we are spending the weekend over at her place for various surprise activities. :) Tonight I'm baking cakes for the occasion so I'll be grabbing snippets of time to begin on my first End is Nigh challenge.

Okay, here we go:
1. Revise story summaries and characters arcs - DONE! 2. Work through Lynn Veihl's Novel Notebook. - Progressing through slowly and will probably take the rest of the month. 3. Develop new romantic subplot for Brigid, my MC. - Developing while doing #2. 4. Develop setting of Retehoro and its inhabitants. - Developing while doing #2. 5. Write in changes to scenes summaries to incorporate romantic subplot and developed setting. - Haven't started and it's not looking too hopeful for this month. I've started working out daily goals to help me get through these. 16 Aug 2008 19:16:01

Okay, the Novel Notebook is kind of in two parts. The first (which I have now completed) is about developing characters, setting and time period. The second is about developing plot, sub-plots, weaving elements and conflict.
By doing the first half I've developed the setting of Retehoro and its inhabitants (my number 4!) and by doing the second half i should have Brigid's new romance developed (number 3). So, I should have four things finished for this End is Nigh. Ooh, that's exciting to know! I only realised I'd finished anothing thing while I wrote this post. lol. :) 23 Aug 2008 22:32:30

I'm half way through developing plot and it is showing me where I could escalate the conflict. That's something I'll have to weave into the scene outline next. :)
I'm feeling good about it! 27 Aug 2008 22:06:17

Done, done... done. Done. Done. And I got something quite unexpected at the end that will make the story a whole lot better.
He's my round up: 1. Revise story summaries and characters arcs. - Done. 2. Work through Lynn Veihl's Novel Notebook. - Done. 3. Develop new romantic subplot for Brigid, my MC. - Done. 4. Develop setting of Retehoro and its inhabitants. - Done. 5. Write in changes to scenes summaries to incorporate romantic subplot and developed setting. - Nope. This one was a little bit hopeful in any case but will make a very good goal for September. Having done the other four things I have a better idea of how big this will be too. 29 Aug 2008 23:08:04
